Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

I'm trying to point out that you were wrong by saying that it's EDM for the masses, because it's not. But his other shit is.

So if you like his other shit, especially the stuff from Bangarang, then you like EDM for the masses.

people will still buy his music - because it's skrillex. music for the masses. It's an opinion, doesn't make it right or wrong. So what's so wonderful about "leaving" - maybe you can persuade me to listen to it for a third time

Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

Not that I enjoy his new album, but I was in the very least intrigued at his new sound. The only reason I gave it a listen is because someone described it as very different.

Has a pop icon ever so dramatically changed his sound? I listened to two tracks and there were zero chainsaws, and that song "leaving" is like he really tried hard at making good music. I am predicting that this is career suicide, but perhaps his fanbase is growing tired of dubstep right along with skrilly willy?

On a side note, fivers album was the exact same horseshit he has been headlining with for the last 4 years. If he is at Coachella as a headliner that would be a shame.

"How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it."

Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

The guy is a total fraud. He is unquestionably ruining British underground music. Taking any soul and feeling from Dubstep - now he is trying to wrench Burial's style that he created the best part of a decade ago and recyling it as his own. No one will EVER do it as good as Burial. Skrillex is a TWAT!

Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

Ugh. You people are the worst. Fucking EDM hipsters. Constantly berating other people's "taste" because you can't contain your huge fucking egos. You sound like grandparents from the 80's. "Back in my day!" and "What is this devil music! BAAHHHH!"

This thread is just proof that you enjoy tearing apart music you don't like and ridiculing the people who feel differently, more than you enjoy praising and sharing the music that you do like. I feel sorry for all of you that can't enjoy music in its entirety because you're so worried about self-image and your incredibly refined musical taste. I also find it interesting that you all consider yourselves to be open-minded when in reality, you are so far from it.

Please don't bring your negativity to Coachella.

Lighten up, if you don't want to hear it don't enter the thread that's clearly not going to be kind. It's the internet, not reality.
